Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Scranton real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Home values in Scranton have climbed over the past year, rising about 13.0 percent to a typical value of roughly $226,000. That pace is close to the 13.64 percent gain seen in Lackawanna County, where typical values are near $250,000. Buyers are still finding Scranton a bit more affordable than the broader county.
Looking at March 2026, sellers priced around a median of $222,500, with homes spending just 23 days on the market, down more than 14 percent from a year ago and over 32 percent from the prior month. Inventory reached 126 homes, which is more than 10 percent higher than the month before but still more than 20 percent below last year, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers in this seller's market.
New listings came in at 82 for the month, down about 6.82 percent year over year, while 66 homes went under contract and roughly 29 percent of sales closed above list price. Around 29 percent of sellers reduced their asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio was about 0.976, showing that many homes are selling very close to what sellers are asking. Looking ahead to April 2026, typical values are projected to reach about $239,000, with inventory edging up to an estimated 132 homes and a projected median list price near $221,251.25, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

Downtown Scranton centers around restored landmarks, local businesses, and destinations such as the Lackawanna County Courthouse Square. Cultural anchors like the Everhart Museum and Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple support year‑round arts programming. Outdoor time is easy to find at Nay Aug Park, with its trails, treehouse, and seasonal events.
Scranton’s neighborhoods range from the historic streets around Green Ridge to family‑focused areas near West Scranton. Local schools, including Scranton High School, and institutions like The University of Scranton and Lackawanna College, contribute to a strong educational presence and steady housing demand. Access to I‑81 and the nearby Steamtown National Historic Site adds to the city’s appeal for commuters and history enthusiasts.
